Heerlike rusplek.

Die lodge was heerlik. Ons het vreeslik lekker gekamp langs die Oranjerivier. Die bestuurspan was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die kampgeriewe skoon en is lekker ingerig en 'n mens kan baie lekker rus. Sal die plek aanbeveel.

Great resting place.

The lodge was lovely. We had a great time camping along the Orange River. The management team was friendly and very helpful. The camping facilities are clean and nicely furnished and you can rest very well. Would recommend the place.

Baie gerieflike en skoon kampplek op die oewer van die Oranjerivier.

Ons het vreeslik lekker hier gekamp - ongelukkig was dit net vir die 1 nag voor ons oor die grens gegaan het na Namibia. Ek sou beslils meer daar gaan kamp het as ons nader gebly het. Sal dit vir enige kampeerders aanbeveel. Elke staanplek is privaat met 'n braaier, dakkie, bankiestel en wasbak en genoeg lig. Fantastiese plek!

Very comfortable and clean campsite on the banks of the Orange River.

We had a great time camping here - unfortunately it was only for the 1 night before we crossed the border to Namibia. I would definitely have camped there more if we lived closer. Would recommend to any campers. Each pitch is private with a braai, canopy, bench set and sink and enough light. Fantastic place!

Nee wat, hou verby.

Ons het groot staanplek bespreek, want ons was twee gesinne, dit was vir iemand anders gegee. Swembad was vuil. Ons kampeerplek was natgespuit voor ons gekom het. Die afdakarea was nie gegee nie. Al die ekstra's was baie duur, ons het maar gelos. Ons water was vir die twee aande af in die ablusieblokke.

No, stop.

We booked a large stand because we were two families, it was given to someone else. Pool was dirty. Our campsite was wet sprayed before we arrived. The canopy area was not given. All the extras were very expensive, we just left. Our water was off in the ablution blocks for the two nights.

Lekkerste kampplek langs die Oranjerivier!

Ons het dié lieflike kampplek langs die Oranjerivier baie geniet. Die hele perseel is netjies en die swembad het baie gehelp in die hitte! Die kroeg en restaurant is 'n lekker kuier-area en ons het die ongelooflike natuurskoon geniet. Die kampplek se badkamers kan wel verbeter.

Wipplank; wissel van afwagting na teleurstelling. Swembad egter manna! Aanvanklik vriendelik ontvang, maar...

Ligging teen Oranjerivier pragtig, veral na besoek aan droogtegeteisterde Namibia en Richtersveld. Akkommodasie voldoen nie aan vereiste nie veral wanneer temperatuur middel 40's is nie en lugreëlaars nie behoorlik funksioneer nie. Badkamers net sinkdak wat sauna-effek het. Ander eenhede (meer luuks gelyk) was nie bewoon nie - nie seker ons het gekry waarvoor ons bespreek het nie? Rokers (besoekers - familie/vriende van bestuur?) kry voorkeur vir dek en inwonende gaste verban na stoep onder sinkdak waar hitte ondraaglik is; bestuur beslis dat hulle nie alternatiewe reëling wil aanvaar nie. Op versoek of hulle kan help met teesakkie vir ons gaste van Skotland - antwoord bondige no. Watertenk loop leeg deur nag en geen toilet/ander water nie. Klop 'n persoon op en uiteindelik word toevoer herstel. Op koop tel motor nog 'n spyker in agterwiel op!

Seesaw; ranging from anticipation to disappointment. Pool manna though! Friendly reception at first, but...

Beautiful location on the Orange River, especially after visiting drought-stricken Namibia and Richtersveld. Accommodation does not meet requirement especially when temperature is mid 40's and air conditioners are not functioning properly. Bathrooms only zinc roof which has sauna effect. Other units (similarly more luxurious) were not occupied - not sure we got what we booked for? Smokers (visitors - family/friends of management?) get preference for deck and resident guests banished to porch under zinc roof where heat is unbearable; management decided that they did not want to accept alternative arrangement. On request if they can help with tea bags for our guests from Scotland - answer concise no. Water tank runs empty through the night and no toilet/other water. Knock a person up and eventually supply is restored. On sale car picks up another nail in rear wheel!

Dit wat die foto’s wys akkommodasie is beslis nie wat jy kry nie.

Dit wat jy sien is beslis nie wat jy kry akkommodasie-gewys nie. Vriendelikheid en die uitsig wel. As dit nie so duur was om te slaap nie sou ek beslis ander akkommodasie gaan soek het.

Dit was awesome en die diens was vriendelik en uitstekend.

Met aankoms by die Orange River Rafting Lodge het ons dadelik welkom gevoel. Die diens was uitstekend en vriendelik. Ons het die smaaklikste pizza bestel en ons het nie eers lank gewag nie. Die bestuurder en haar man was regtig baie vriendelik en ons so welkom laat voel dat ons die plek vir enige mens kan aanbeveel om te oornag. Baie dankie vir die rusplek.

Netjies en goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het heerlik gekamp en badkamers was baie netjies en skoon. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en dit is wonderlik om so naby die rivier te kamp. Net jammer dat die aand wat ons daar oornag het die geraas vanaf die bar soms 'n bietjie steurend was.

We had a great camp and bathrooms were very neat and clean. We were kindly received and it is wonderful to camp so close to the river. Just a pity that the night we spent the night there the noise from the bar was sometimes a bit disturbing.

Ons kamp al van 2016 daar by Leigh Ann en haar man en elke keer is dit 'n ongelooflike ondervinding. Die twee laat jou tuis voel, sorg vir alles, is vriendelik en super behulpsaam. Hulle laat jou so tuis voel en die kampterrein en badkamers is super netjies. Voorwaar 'n heerlike ondervinding. Ons sal weer kom!

Siele rus en vreugde.

Beslis 'n stop / oornag werd. Jy voel sommer dadelik met vakansie wanneer jy inry en nog meer so met baie vriendelike diens deur personeel. Alhoewel hul besig is om die oord op te knap, nog steeds geld werd om hier te bly as oornag op pad Namibië toe of net vir paar dae uit te span. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Definitely worth a stop / overnight. You feel immediately on holiday when you drive in and even more so with very friendly service from staff. Although they are renovating the resort, still worth the money to stay here as an overnight stop on the way to Namibia or just to stretch out for a few days. Will definitely stay there again.

Ideale oornagverblyf.

Ons kon lekker in die swembad afkoel na 'n lang dagreis in die hitte. Ons het alles wat nodig was daar gevind. Die geiser het egter nie gewerk nie (chalet no. 7). Gelukkig was dit baie warm buite en 'n koue stort was die aangewese ding. Die hessian plafonne lyk 'n bietjie verwaarloos en benodig aandag. Andersins het ons lekker gebly en sal die instansie aanbeveel.

Ideal overnight stay.

We could cool off in the pool after a long day trip in the heat. We found everything we needed there. However, the geyser did not work (chalet no. 7). Luckily it was very hot outside and a cold shower was the thing to do. The hessian ceilings look a little neglected and need attention. Otherwise we had a nice stay and would recommend the establishment.

Al wat gepla het is die toilet wat buite sit. Dit is so bietjie van 'n gesukkel as jy gestrem is.

Dirk en Lee-Anne kan menslik moontlik nie meer vir hulle gaste doen nie. Ons is warm verwelkom en hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om heeltyd seker te maak dat ons gemaklik en gelukkig is. Plek is ook baie skoon en netjies en gemaklik met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die rivier en berge. As ek 10 sterre kon gee sou ek. Somer 'n hart-klop-tjoklits verblyf gewees.

'n Heerlike kampterrein langs die Oranjerivier.

Ons het met skok agtergekom die plekkie is aan RSA se kant by Kotzeshoop en nie in Namibië nie. Die pad is baie sleg na die plek toe, maar moenie dat dit julle afsit nie. Die plekkie is pragtig. Mense is vriendelik en behulpsaam en daar is 'n ongelooflike swembad. Beveel dit sterk aan vir daardie prys.

We realized with shock that the place is on the RSA side at Kotzeshoop and not in Namibia. The road to the place is very bad, but don't let that put you off. The place is beautiful. People are friendly and helpful and there is an amazing pool. Highly recommend it for that price.

Fantasties.

Aanwysings na plek baie goed, padtoestand bevredigend. Ontvangs baie vriendelik, voel sommer tuis. Kampterrein ruim, netjies en skoon. Ablusieblokke skoon, lekker warmwaterstorte, mooi uitsig oor rivier, natuur asemrowend.

Aanbeveel maar pad baie sleg.

Verblyf baie goed en netjies waarde vir geld maar ons sal persoonlik nooit weer soontoe gaan nie, want die grondpad soontoe is baie baie sleg. Ons het die eerste nag op pad soontoe 'n tyre gesny en dit was groot drama om hulp te kry so ver van alles af en daardie tyd van die aand ook. Die eienaar het darem probeer help en 'n oproep gemaak of twee. Drie weke later toe ons weer soontoe ry was die pad nog erger, daar moet plan gemaak word om die pad te skraap, andersins was die verblyf goed.

Recommended but road very bad.

Stay very good and tidy value for money but we personally will never go there again because the dirt road there is very very bad. We cut a tire the first night on the way there and it was a big drama to get help so far from everything and at that time of the evening too. At least the owner tried to help and made a call or two. Three weeks later when we drove there again the road was even worse, a plan must be made to scrape the road, otherwise the stay was good.

Very nice, quite nature place.

We received a very friendly welcome. The bar, pool area of the lodge where very nice. We enjoyed the river, we had a view of it from our chalet. The chalet's decor was bit out dated and on the primitive side, but never less we enjoyed getting back to nature. The unit was clean and neat. We welcomed the air-conditioning the the summer December heat. We will stay there again.

Not sure if we would recommend it - for us it was a disappointing experience.

I think the problem is the term "lodge". If they called it a "camp" it was a more accurate description because then you knew what to expect. The log cabins were just not what we expected.
